Powerball numbers drawn for $1.9 billion jackpot after delay
have topped $1 billion, but none of those are close to the current prize, which started at $20 million back on Aug. 6 and over three winless months has grown ever more massive. No one has won the jackpot since Aug. 3.
The problems in holding a drawing Monday night were blamed on one participating lottery’s inability to process its sales data. “Powerball requires all 48 participating lotteries to submit their sales and play data prior to the winning numbers being selected. Once Powerball receives the outstanding submission, the drawing can proceed,” the Multi-State Lottery Association said in a statement.
Nearly three hours after the scheduled 10:59 p.m. EST Monday drawing, the association told The Associated Press: “It’s against our policy to name the lottery that is experiencing the delay.” Later on Tuesday morning, the association said in a new statement that Powerball was “in communication with the lottery throughout the night as it works to resolve the issue.”
The winning numbers and recorded video of the drawing were posted to the Powerball website and YouTube channel., paid annually over 29 years. Nearly all winners instead opt for cash, but the value of that option wasn’t immediately available Tuesday morning.The game is played in 45 states, as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
